Personally, I think the designers did a great job with SS AOE Optimus Prime. And those who complain about the silver paint, for example, should realise that this toy is meant for kids.
I am SO HYPE for leader Prime! From the initial reveals to now I've gone from "WTF they really bungled this" to "wow, they really did a great job!". Honestly, I am pretty OK with the compromises we are getting in terms of kibble. They did three major things that make him an absolute win and a worth upgrade over the other hasbro figures of this design: They cleaned up the silhouette a lot, they included really nice and accurate accessories, and they GREATLY increased the articulation. He has ankles! Double jointed elbows! Wrist articulation! And knees that look like they can actually bend past 90! The TLK voyager looked really nice from the front, but he was practically a brick, and from the back he looked like a truck still.
Everything looks great especially AOE Optimus Prime, MP Rattrap and Devastation Optimus (which I personally like). I could definitely see them making a TLK Nemesis Prime with the purple eyes, gauntlet arms and the Staff.
I just find it dumb we live in a world where only G1 Prime gets the Commander Class Treatment, while all the Bayverse Primes are a size class too small/limited. 1-3 Prime SHOULD be a Leader Class (with DOTM Trailer a Commander), and AOE/TLK SHOULD have a Commander Budget. Hoping they'll do a 2.0 as a Commander and label it as the TLK version, but we'll have to see.
Nah, the Sword and Shield are a LOT more common for the character. But if you noticed, this release his how he looks before grabbing his Sword of Judgement, so maybe they'll re release it with his Blaster, forearm knife, the seed, and his mouth look (if it doesn't already have that option).
wouldve been nice if prime's pre-knight forearms were red and added blue flames on it. thats the only thing i like on his knight design still having red forearms as a reference to his trilogy colors. that's until he parts formed his arms and now hes pretty much 88% blue rather than red. he turned into ultra magnus 💀
I'll still get the figures, but I hate the new boxes. For me, I have all my 86 figures unopened in the beautiful packaging, but displaying them in the new packaging might be a turn off with all the blue, n0 86 font, and just black and white logo. I actually like the leader Optimus Prime.

Adding silver is also the easiest thing to do yourself. You can use gundam markers, or you can use silver spray paint. I use both!

Que, aoe Optimus Prime and Trypticon are must haves foe me. The first two are way overdue.
TFOne sentinel is the other voyager in that SS wave
Ahh okay, makes sense!
I like that Que. I want that Que.
I’m just hype to finally get a Trypticon - that and of course Que and PRIME!!!
We are so WheelBack.
😂
I need que and aoe optimus omg they're SO GOOD!!!!
Yeah they're looking great!
Aoe Prime and Que are a must have for me!
Same here!
I'm so excited for Wheeljack. Definitely my favorite of the dotm Autobots
Me too! He is definitely one of my favorites.

Oh agreed! And yeah I'd love to see a Nemesis version.

you can thank reddit for geewun slop everywhere
I think they should have gave optimus his blaster and a Aoe brains mini figure or swappable face instead of the sword and shield
Lemme introduce you to a 3D printer
I would've liked that! Give him everything that he had with the pre-knight arms.
@@alobaymar Or 3rd Party Upgrades... still annoying for a $60 RETAIL FIGURE.

Yeah that would have looked cool!
I am waiting for the Optimus and hope a ko company does it better to go with my ko tlk Voayger Megs.
I'd be interested to see what a KO could do, especially with the paintjob, but I just wanna get the original in hand first!
I’m gonna get optimus and maybes que but the plastic look really bothers me ngl
